EJ. Carolina ffitrmer:?Having re*

, v V . j
Agricultural regions of New Jersey i
UK . ; Y T r> !
and Pennsylvania, 1 must confess to *
having felt a degree .of painful morti- J
# tioation on coming South, to note the j
very striking contrast between the
L' condition of the farms, an-J the appear- J
anco of the crops in the two sections of
the country. There the farms were
{tilled, WON eared tor, and divided into
four parts, viz: wheat, hay, corn, and :
pasture for stock. Corn, the only crop
requiring any .considerable labor, oc- '
'Ciipying generally not more than one
V fourth the farm, but producing from
forty to eighty bushels per aero, while j
several farms in Virginia ami in our
State, especudly this side the Xeuse
river, as seen from the railroad, with
, s .every evidence.orf neglect, u nth rift, and
poverty, would not produce mo-e than
four or five btis.hels to the aero; aud i
some as many acres to the bushel. It
^ seems unaccountable that people could
. 4)0 so infatuated as to waste seed corn !
p on such land in ks present condition
r . which will not ret urn the seed planted;
^ for to my certain knowledge some of
^ those fields have not produced crops
worth .cult ivating for lo these many
vj years, and arc getting worse all the
-f time, for thom? is the exhaust toil si/sf,v
/dm, that is to take off the .laud .all it
C<f produces without .reluming any thing1
L to it, till it censes to produce even crab i
J grass; they then clear up nnothet piece !
m of land and go fr.njpi generat ion to gen- ;
I oration through the same process with |
tthe same results. Now if the ui.fortunate
owuers or tenants of such farms,
if they cannot afford to buy fertiliser*,
would go in good faith to work and
gather out o.f the woods, swamps or
branches, mould, mud, ieaves or any
.other form of decayed or decaying |
vegetable matter (if they have no hot^
ter material) and enrich one acre, if no
more, and make it produce more than
ten acres in their present state, which
can easily be done, there might bo
?omc hope for them even in this life; if
not, for limes {ire changed, the only al- j
-ternativo for them is either to starve
!
or steal; 8ta?Vi i g ia no Wller'than it j
should he, and stealing not wit list ami- i
ing it has become more leM^ee-tahlc j
than formerly^ yet it can he carried on
to advantage only by government ollioials
and others in outhontv., so eitlicr
way it is better, cheaper, more ooMfifdrtable
and niorp reliable to manure
ilicir farms than resort to either of the
-other alternatives.

Outside of the general election law,
there is not one so open to criticism

gives the Jury Commissioners a peculiar

are at liberty to think what t hey 'please,

Eighteen years after the pilgrim fathers
landed on Plymouth Pock they
experienced their first Now England
earthquake. This was iu 1688, and
was very severe, so much so as to throw
persons to the ground. Since it oc(Mined,

hundred add forty-nine earthquakes
are registered as having been ex peri-'

place in e.ooi or cold weather/ a rule

never exnerieneed one of these conv*jl
1
sions in any dftmtidcrnble degree of
i severity. lJut the sites of Montreal,
I Quebec, Cincinnati and Chicago have
in time jmst been shaken. The extraordinary
visitation of the Winter-of
1808 convulsed all Canada in a most
surprising manner. It lasted si< niin,
utes and shook down mountains, turn
I
od the course of rivers, and made havoc
of the whole land. In the valley of
; the Mississippi, the first shock on record
is set down for 1 V70. Others oo
eurred in 1791, 1795 and 1700. Then
in 1801 one took place near the site oi
Chicago, and of such severity that
J should it be repeated the city would
suffer terribly. In J 811, November 10,
began an earthquake of which a writer
in the Atlantic says:?"Since human
history began, the earth has rarely
been shaken by a more tremendous
convulsion." Its repetition would endanger
the safety of all.our Western
cities. Some writer affirms it to have
been as severe as the great shock that
destroyed Lisbon in 18?5. The seat
of the disturbance wasatXcw Madrid,
fifty miles below the mouth of the Ohio
river. I lore, from November 15 to
December 28, -ov-er sixty-seven shocks I

ceased counting for very weariness of
tlie trembling task. At Cincinnati,
over one hundred shock were counted.
At Columbia, S. C,, plaster /ell Irom

were rung by the rocking steeples.
Washington was alarmed by the seismic
throbs. On the Mississippi vaUley,
the ground rose and sank in awful
waves, and split, into chasms one
or two hundred feet in depth. This
remarkable earthquake reached from
the Kooky Mountains to the Atlantic
ocean.

A man named George Troupe has
just made as decided a failure in an
attempt to play the part of Flija a?was
ever made before. Thirteen days
ago, when Mr. Jas. Atkinson re-opened
his wheelright shop, he told Troupe,
who had been living with him for the
last twenty years, that he wanted lutn
to go to work again, hut Troupe responded
that he had promised the Lord
not to work for man any moie, and
that the Lord had promised to provide
for him, and dressing himself in the
clothes he usually wore on Sundays,
bid Mr. Atkinson's family good bye
and walked out, taking with him however,
nothing except the clothes on his
person. From this time, nothing was
heard from him until Into yesterday
evening, when a grave digger named
Waddoy informed Mr. Atkinson that
he had found him lying in the Presbyterian
hurrying ground starved almost
to death -and so weak that he co hi
not crawl to tire spring. Mr. A. at
once went to his reliel and brought
him back again to his'houso, and under
the kind and attentive treatment he is
receiving there, he will probably soon
recover his strength. 1L" had been
where he was found for the last t wclvc
days, during which time he had eaten
two peaches and a pear, but the crows,
though they flow over him regularly
every morning and evening, never once
brought "him any hr/ad or flesh.?,l&a\

Miss S., of St. Louis, writes us that
she once rend in an old hook of travels
an account of a remarkable tallow tw>"
growing about Mobile, and a Hording
candles for the natives. Not ba\ ing
seen any mention of it by later authors,
she concludes the whole thine must be
u myth, sun she thought no harm ronlii
ooniu ot dropping us a line to ask if wo
bad any knowledge of such .tallow
tree.
Wo suppose tlie tallow tree roforrc 1
to, with some little exaggeration perhaps,
must have been our wax myrtle,
an evergreen shrub or small tree which
grows abundantly all over North Carolina.
It has, thickly set along its slender
brancblets, thousands of whitish
berries about the si/.e of pop-corn
grains, which upon close examination
prove to be nothing more or less than
little balls of wax with one seed iu the
centre of each.
These berries arc somct imcs galhei od
and put into boiling water, when the
wax leaves them and 5oat.es to the
surface, the seeds sinking to the hot torn.
In this way it maybe gathered in considerable
quant it ies, and it is occasion
ally moulded into beautiful candles ol
a reddish eollor ; so, you see, the story
of the old traveller is not altogether a
myth; after all.
We have three varieties of the wax
myrtle in the South: one a lar<*<? shrub
* ' O
or small treo ; a smaller variet y from
two to four feet high, and a still smaller
variety from one to two fowl high. The
two varieties first named are generally
to be met with in wet plftces, while the
last on the list is a native of our dry
and sandy pine barrens. y\ll produce

This improbable story only lived dqepor
in his mind the suspicion that the
women was using the milk lor her own
purposes. She persisting, though, in
her story, ho went to his cow lot early
in .-the morning, and there lie found the
cows lying quietly on their sides, and
the pigs tugging away for their breakfast.
Afterwards, when tbc cows were
stamping up, he saw the pigs running
around ami under them, jumping up,
and doing all they .could to reach the
teats, Those pigs, that had been forced
to learn, so early, the lesson of "root,

these, trot 'em out.

extent" until recently, when its waters
not only swarmed with myriads of linny
monsters, but the surrounding
shores arc alive with fish. They have'
come in such enormous numbers that
the waves wash them high and dry on
the shore where they lie knee deep,
dead and putrefying. The fish trade
in Omaha and Council HI lifts has become
prodigious. The fish seem to be
greatly astonished at their new surroundings,
and stick their heads from
the water and open their mouths, as if
they wanted air. A little boy takes a
flat board and wades into the water,
and in ten minutes throws out as many
lisb as a wagon can carry, varying in
weight from two to five pounds.People
who have lived in the neighbor
hood for years declared the phenomenon
unprecedented, and various wild
theories are put forth in explication.
The prevalent belief is that the swarm
came into the lake by a subterranean
passage, during a late stoun, while a
few venerable observers contend that
the Missouri overflowed its hanks and
flooded the lake with catfish and perch.

A correspondent of the Ltnnhe. villr
(X. .1.) lleacon says, a short lime since,
while staying at the borongh of 11., lie
overheard the following, which he
thinks too good to he lost :
A number of politicians, aM r/f whom
wore seeking olHce under the Govern?
ment, were seated under n tavern porch,
when an old toper named Joel 1)., a
person who was very loquacious when
corned, but exactly opposite when >
sober, said that he would tell them a
story. They told him to "fire away,"
where upon he spoke as follows :
A certain kir.g--I dont't recollect
his name?had a philosopher upon
w hose judgment he always depended.
Now it happened one day that the
king took it into his head to go hunting,
and summoned his nobles, and
making the necessary preparations, lie
summoned the philosopher, and asked
him it it would rain. The philosopher
told him it would not, and they started.
While journeying along they met
a countryman mounted on a jackass.
lie advised them to return, "for,"
said he, "it will certainly rain." They
smiled contemptuously upon him, and
the.n passed on. Heforc they had gone
many miles, however, they hod reason
to regret not having taken the rustic's
advice, as a shower coming up-drench- ?
ed .them to the nkio When lhcy"'iu?d
returned to the palace, the king reprimanded
the philosopher severely.
"I met a countryman," said he, "u.nd
he knows a great deal more than you.
lie told me it would rain, whereas you
twld me it would not.'"
The. king then gave him his walking
papers ai d sent for the countryman.,
who soon made his appearance.
"Tell me," said the king, "how you
knew it would rain,"
"I did not know," wiid the rustic,
"my jackass told me so."
"And how, pray, did ho tell you V*
asked Che king.
"I?y pricking up his ears, your Majesty,"

very wise, "is where the king made n

"I low so ?" inquired the auditors.
"Wiry, ever since that time," said
Joel, with a grin on his phi/., "every
